We did exactly what we planned- and then some.  We slept in and got some more laundry done- then headed down to the river to Arizona- where Paul answered his craving for Nachos and Pam had another cheeseburger.  We then decided to walk home (about 3 miles) in the warm -1C weather.  As we passed the many shops, we noticed something very strange... a plethora of mice.. everywhere. Stuffed mice, gold mice, mice magnets, mice shirts, mice mugs, mice key rings... every shop was overwhelmed with mice.  (and no- they had not been that way 2 days ago)  Even more strange, everyone was buying the mice (quite aggressively!).  When we stopped at one shop, just to look at the mice in the display, both of us were literally pushed off the glass by other people, shoving their way to the front.

We managed to pick up a few... including one- that both of us simultaneously agreed (and without previous conversation) belonged to Randolph   Attached you will find both Paul and Pam's favorites!!  Clearly they belong with the upcoming New Year's celebration to bring good fortune for the new year...
